The American Concrete Institute (ACI) mix design method is a widely accepted approach for designing concrete mixes that ensure desired strength, workability, and durability for various construction applications. This method is detailed in the ACI Committee 211 documents, particularly ACI 211.1, "Standard Practice for Selecting Proportions for Normal, Heavyweight, and Mass Concrete." Here’s an overview of the ACI mix design method: Objectives of ACI Mix Design
Strength: Achieve the required compressive strength.
Workability: Ensure the mix is workable enough for proper placement and compaction.
Durability: Provide sufficient durability for the specific environmental conditions.
Steps in ACI Mix Design Method
1. Determine the Required Mix Parameters
Specified Compressive Strength (
𝑓
𝑐
′
f
c
′
): The strength that concrete is expected to achieve at 28 days.
Exposure Conditions: Evaluate conditions like freeze-thaw, sulfate exposure, and corrosion, which influence the durability requirements.
Maximum Aggregate Size: Decide based on the structure's size and reinforcement spacing.
Slump: Based on the type of construction and placement method.
2. Select the Water-Cement Ratio (W/C)
Use empirical relationships from ACI tables to select the water-cement ratio based on the required compressive strength and durability considerations.
3. Estimate the Water Content
Estimate the amount of water required per unit volume of concrete for the chosen slump and maximum aggregate size. ACI provides tables for this.
4. Calculate the Cement Content
Determine the amount of cement required by dividing the estimated water content by the selected water-cement ratio.
5. Estimate Coarse Aggregate Content
Estimate the volume of coarse aggregate based on the maximum aggregate size and the fineness modulus of the fine aggregate using ACI tables.
6. Calculate Fine Aggregate Content
Fine aggregate content is determined by subtracting the volume of cement, water, and coarse aggregate from the total volume of concrete.
7. Adjust for Aggregate Moisture
Adjust the batch weights of aggregates to account for their moisture content. This ensures that the water added to the mix is the actual water needed for the mix design, not water absorbed by aggregates.
8. Trial Batches and Adjustments
Prepare trial batches to verify that the mix meets the required workability, strength, and durability. Adjust the mix proportions if necessary based on trial results.
Example Calculation
Here is an example to illustrate the ACI mix design process:
Required Parameters:
Specified Compressive Strength: 4000 psi (28 MPa)
Exposure Condition: Moderate exposure
Maximum Aggregate Size: 1 inch (25 mm)
Slump: 3 inches (75 mm)
Water-Cement Ratio:
For 4000 psi, use a W/C ratio of 0.50 (from ACI tables).
Water Content:
For 1-inch aggregate and 3-inch slump, estimated water content is 305 lb/yd³ (180 kg/m³).
Cement Content:
Cement content = Water content / W/C ratio
Cement content = Water content / W/C r

ingredients of concrete and determining
their relative quantities with the objective
of producing a concrete of the required
strength, durability, and workability as
economically as possible, is termed the
concrete mix design

Workability: the ease with which the
concrete ingredients (gravel, sand , cement,
water) can be mixed, transported, placed,
consolidate, and finished with minimum
loss of homogeneity
9. Prevent Segregation & Bleeding
9
Segregation: the tendency for the gravel
particles to separate from the rest of the
ingredients.
Bleeding: the tendency for the mixing
water to separate from the rest of the
ingredients.

1. Choice of slump
2. Maximum aggregate size selection
3. Mixing water and air content selection
4. Water-cement ratio

22. DEFINITION: Nominal maximum aggregate size is the largest sieve that retains
some of the aggregate particles.
ACI Limits:
1/3 of the slab depth
3/4 of the minimum clear space between
bars/form
1/5 minimum dimension of non-reinforced
member
Aggregate larger than these dimensions may be difficult to consolidate
and compact resulting in a honeycombed structure or large air pockets.
Step #3: Max. Agg. Size Check
22
24. Step #5: Cement Content
The calculated cement amount is based on
the selected mixing water content and
water-cement ratio.
W/C= Wt. of Water
Wt. of Cement
24
27. Step #8: Batch Weight & Water Adjustment
Aggregate weights.
Aggregate volumes are calculated based on oven dry unit weights, but aggregate is
batched in the field by actual weight.
Any moisture in the stockpiled aggregate will increase its weight.
Without correcting for this, the batched aggregate volumes will be incorrect.
Amount of mixing water.
If the batched aggregate is anything but saturated surface dry it will absorb water
(if dry) or give up water (if wet) to the cement paste.
This causes a net change in the amount of water available in the mix and must be
compensated for by adjusting the amount of mixing water added.
